Value Streams Inventory and Attributes
Chapter 33. Understand the relationship between the Value Streams Inventory and the Organizational Units Inventory
Organizational units own and operate the stages of a value stream. Because a value stream characteristically crosses several organizational units — each stage may be performed by a different part of the enterprise — this relationship is essential to understanding how accountability for an end-to-end flow is distributed, and where the hand-offs between units occur.
The Organizational Units Inventory is not yet published — refer to the IF4IT Enterprise Inventory Management Best Practices document. When it is published, the Owning Organizational Units relationship attribute in this inventory will map each value stream to the units that operate its stages, making visible the cross-organizational nature of value delivery and the points where a flow passes from one unit to another.
